I'm with Riseball (and others). It's not the tool, it's the user.
That said, here's one way to adjust for a poor user. Instead of trying to hit out of a stance, have the hitter start in the "turned" position. Basically, turn your body to right before launch. Have the feeder feed the ball, and then just finish the swing. It will mostly be an arm swing, but it will give the hitter the feel for the timing of dropping the ball in the chute and seeing it come out.
I have made this suggestion to several hitters who were having trouble hitting off a machine. It worked for all of them. Sometimes you have to break things down a bit - especially when what's happening on the other end isn't realistic.
This is fantastic. Thank you.
